As workplaces evolve, old typologies die. To reconcile the relevant lessons learned from these past approaches, this building combines the enfilade, the free plan, the raumplan, and the courtyard into a difficult whole. The result is a continuous snake-like structure which winds through columns and crosses multiple levels to create a variety of homogeneous spaces. Where it bends, the kink disrupts its continuity, preserving a semblance of a cellular condition.
